Bows, ruffles and puff sleeves – romance is back for 2020

It must be love (Picture: Jenny Brough)

Love was in the air at Simone Rocha, Loewe and Erdem, where romantic sheer, tulle and cotton gowns waltzed down the catwalks. Soft pastel palettes of apricot, lilac and sky blue were also big news, while looks were embellished with bow details and crystal-studded and pearl jewellery.

If girly isn’t your style, try a see-through dress, now the norm at brands like Molly Goddard and Shirmps, over a pair of jeans and black biker boots.

Add on a clutch bag – it’s back and no longer just for parties. Big (quite literally) at Bottega Veneta and Givenchy, SS20’s styles are soft and super-sized.
